  • Reconciling Csikszentmihalyi's Broader Flow Theory
    Reconciling Csikszentmihalyi’s Broader Flow Theory With Meaning and Value in Digital Games John Hamon Salisbury & Penda Tomlinson INTRODUCTION The aim of this paper is to put forward an additional condition to the characteristics of ‘Flow’ (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975) that addresses the idea that the “meaningful experiences” Csikszentmihalyi is talking about rely on constructions of value drawn from our personal cultural context and not from some absolute set of invariant cultural values. Although this may be seen as broadly applicable to all discussions of ‘Flow’ type experiences the focus here is on Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s discussion of his concept of optimal engagement known as ‘Flow’ (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975, 1979, 1990, 1996, and Kubey, R., & Csikszentmihalyi, M. 2002) as it relates to existing and future uses of ‘Flow’ in design and analysis of digital games. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s concept of optimal engagement known as ‘Flow’ (Csikszentmihalyi, 1975; Csikszentmihalyi, 1990) is discussed in detail later in this paper, especially focusing on the key idea that there is a set of characteristics that are common to all ‘Flow’ experiences. The core concept is that ‘Flow’ describes a type of heightened engagement with an activity where the participant is so involved in the activity that there is no awareness spared for one’s environment or even self-consciousness. Csikszentmihalyi describes the experience of Flow as: “…a sense that one’s skills are adequate to cope with the challenges 55 56 ToDIGRA at hand, in a goal directed, rule-bound, action system that provides clear clues as to how well one is performing.

Two main themes run through the volume. The first is a consensus among the authors that fundamental moral standards must be passed along to the young and that educators at all levels bear the obligation to transmit these core standards to their studehts. The second is a shared determination to discard old oppositions that have paralyzed some of the best efforts in character education over the past several decades. The essays are titled as follows: "Transmitting Moral Wisdom in an Age of the Autonomous Self" (Arthur J. Schwartz); "How Moral Education Is Finding It8 Way Back into American's Schools" (Christina Hoff Sommers); "The Science of Character Education" (Marvin W.

  • EGOSYSTEM a Visualisation of Wholeness Amidst Environmental Uncertainty and Fragmentation
    EGOSYSTEM A Visualisation of Wholeness Amidst Environmental Uncertainty and Fragmentation By Christopher Nokes Vaughan Road Academy Abstract Students are embedded in a stochastic world. Postmodern practitioners of fragmentation accept this, however they dispute Jungian and Eriksonian wholeness. The existential representation ego as a two- dimensional thing, the Kantian-, Jungian- I-formation is questioned. Similarly, Gardnerian frames of mind and MI are questioned as functional pedagogical models within the context of a stochastic reality. Thus, the term literacy must be expanded to address this enduring reality of both the classroom, and the shape-shifting, kaleidoscopic, urban landscapes through which students move daily. Egosystem (Author, 2005) is a perfect model for this environmental kaleidoscope. This requires a new literacy, a true 'reading the world' (Freire, 1995). We understand that the classical ego is an extension of a system of influential forces of the embedding world that inform, shape and re-shape it. Egosystem is the new complex ego struggling for survival. Uncertainty is the undercurrent beneath volatile educational environments wherein visual arts achieves some measure of control by offering challenging design problems. Archaic and modern confrontation with challenges presented by this stochastic world is an impetus for intellectual development through increasing visualization, heightened awareness, self-healing and self-renewal. The search for wholeness extends the Jungian archetype of teleiosis to an enlightened version of the whole Self within an entropic field that tends towards fragmentation. It is the same ego-consciousness and environmental awareness the genus Homo used to negotiate survival within the original stochastic classroom of the African Rift Valley. We witness the same successive growth of modern students learning to solve challenging design problems, to adapt and to change within an uncertain world.

  • Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences
    Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences Many of us are familiar with three general categories in which people learn: visual learners, auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners. Beyond these three general categories, many theories of and approaches toward human potential have been developed. Among them is the theory of multiple intelligences, developed by Howard Gardner, Ph.D., Professor of Education at Harvard University. Gardner’s early work in psychology and later in human cognition and human potential led to the development of the initial six intelligences. Today there are nine intelligences and the possibility of others may eventually expand the list. These intelligences (or competencies) relate to a person’s unique aptitude set of capabilities and ways they might prefer to demonstrate intellectual abilities. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences 1. Verbal-linguistic intelligence (well-developed verbal skills and sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of words) 2. Logical-mathematical intelligence (ability to think conceptually and abstractly, and capacity to discern logical and numerical patterns) 3. Spatial-visual intelligence (capacity to think in images and pictures, to visualize accurately and abstractly) 4. Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (ability to control one’s body movements and to handle objects skillfully) 5. Musical intelligences (ability to produce and appreciate rhythm, pitch and timber) 6. Interpersonal intelligence (capacity to detect and respond appropriately to the moods, motivations and desires

  • The First Seven. . . and the Eighth: a Conversation with Howard Gardner
    The First Seven. and the Eighth: A Conversation with Howard Gardner Human intelligence continues to intrigue psychologists, neurologists, and educators. What is it? Can we measure it? How do we nurture it? Kathy Checkley Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, described in Frames of Mind (1985), sparked a revolution of sorts in classrooms around the world, a mutiny against the notion that human beings have a single, fixed intelligence. The fervor with which educators embraced his premise that we have multiple intelligences surprised Gardner himself. "It obviously spoke to some sense that people had that kids weren't all the same and that the tests we had only skimmed the surface about the differences among kids," Gardner said. Here Gardner brings us up-to-date on his current thinking on intelligence, how children learn, and how they should be taught. How do you define intelligence? Intelligence refers to the human ability to solve problems or to make something that is valued in one or more cultures. As long as we can find a culture that values an ability to solve a problem or create a product in a particular way, then I would strongly consider whether that ability should be considered an intelligence. First, though, that ability must meet other criteria: Is there a particular representation in the brain for the ability? Are there populations that are especially good or especially impaired in an intelligence? And, can an evolutionary history of the intelligence be seen in animals other than human beings? I defined seven intelligences (see box) in the early 1980s because those intelligences all fit the criteria.

  • JEROME SEYMOUR BRUNER COURTESY of RANDALL FOX 1 October 1915
    JEROME SEYMOUR BRUNER COURTESY OF RANDALL FOX 1 october 1915 . 5 june 2016 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY VOL. 161, NO. 4, DECEMBER 2017 biographical memoirs s a student of narrative, Jerome (Jerry) Seymour Bruner knew well that one can tell many stories about an individual person, Aevent, and life. Indeed, at the start of his autobiography, Jerry Bruner wrote, “I can find little in [my childhood] that would lead anybody to predict that I would become an intellectual or an academic, even less a psychologist.” And yet, it is appropriate—if not essential—to begin this memoir with the fact that Jerry Bruner was born blind. Only at age 2, after two successful cataract operations (Jerry spoke of “good luck and progress in ophthalmology”) could Jerry see. For the rest of his lengthy and event-filled life, he wore memorably thick corrective lenses. And when he was not peering directly at you—be you an audience of one or of one thousand—he would grasp his glasses firmly in his palm and punctuate his fluent speech with dramatic gestures. As a younger child of an affluent Jewish family living in the suburbs of New York City, Jerry was active, playful, and fun-loving—not partic- ularly intellectual or scholarly. His sister Alice wondered why he was always asking questions; Jerry later quipped that he was “trying out hypotheses.” Freud said that the death of a father is the most important event in a man’s life. Whether or not cognizant of this psychoanalytic pronouncement, Bruner seldom referred to his mother; he devoted much more space in his autobiography and much more time in conver- sation to commemorating his father: “Everything changed, collapsed, after my father died when I was twelve, or so it seemed to me.” And indeed, as he passed through adolescence and into early adulthood, Bruner became a much more serious student, a budding scholar, a wide-ranging intellectual.

Such reframing is essential if we are to adequately educate the twenty-first century learner. In the past, we neatly separated the cognitive realm of thinking and learning from the physical, social and emotional realities of the learner. However, substantial research has clearly established the inter- dependence and connectedness of each of these spheres within individuals. Spirituality, though, has barely been considered in these constructions of young people, and particularly of gifted young people.
